Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Occupational Therapy 375 OCT 7890—Independent Study Individualized study under the supervision of assigned instructor. Requires permission of a doctoral program director. (1–3 credits) Elective OCT 7908—Practice Scholarship to Advance Occupational Therapy Practice This course explores the concept of practice scholarship operationalized through student-driven application, evaluation, and creation. Practice scholarship encompasses the methodologies utilized to advance practice in occupational therapy and includes approaches such as program development and implementation science, among others. Additionally, practice scholarship includes a needs assessment as one of the preliminary tools to identify practice gaps and the methodologies ensure the advanced practitioner is then able to create meaningful scholarship to influence change in practice. Students will utilize their own projects of interest to transition through the needs assessment stages and appraise various practitioner scholarship methodologies based upon needs assessment results. Through evidence-based approaches, they will provide rationales to compare methodologies to ensure best practice application. Dissemination considerations will be examined, including utilization of IRB to address ethics in research, knowledge translation for various projects, and change leadership to implement projects successfully. (3 credits) OCT 7909—Program Evaluation and Outcome Measurement In this course, students will learn the process for evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention or a program. Students will develop an evaluation plan for an intervention or program of interest including identification of relevant outcomes and methods for systematically collecting, analyzing, and interpreting quantitative and/or qualitative information to inform decisionmaking about the program or intervention. (3 credits) OCT 7910—Capstone I In the first course of a three-course capstone sequence, students will explore capstone ideas related to their professional interests. They will explore the literature to develop and articulate the background and need for the capstone project. They will identify a faculty mentor for the capstone project and develop the plan for the residency experience. (3 credits) OCT 7911—Chronicity, Occupation, and Health Explores the relationships among chronic disease and disability, occupational performance, occupational satisfaction, and personal wellness when living with a disability from the standpoints of the individual and of society. Students examine clinical, ethical and advocate roles in the context of occupational therapy theory and professional practice standards. (3 credits) Elective OCT 7920—Capstone II In this second of the three-course capstone sequence, students will develop the capstone proposal with a faculty mentor, prepare the IRB protocol as applicable, and begin the residency experience to facilitate the development and implementation of the capstone project. (3 credits) OCT 7921—Capstone III During the third and final course of the capstone sequence, students will complete the residency experience and implement the capstone project. At the end of the semester, students will submit a final capstone paper, which is the culminating assignment in this course and the Dr.O.T. curriculum. In addition, students will develop a plan for dissemination and/or publication of the capstone project. (3 credits) OCT 8945—Studies for the Qualifying Examination For Ph.D. students who are preparing for, and taking, the Ph.D. qualification exam. (1 credit) OCT 8950—Research Residency This course is completed once a student passes their qualifying examination stage and has entered into Ph.D. candidacy. It requires a research residency experience related to the candidate’s area of research interest. The objectives of the course are related to specific skills and experiences that the student has to develop to complete and/or plan their dissertation research. (3 credits) OCT 8970—Doctoral Dissertation Supervised original study of occupational therapy evaluation and intervention. Prerequisite: admission to candidacy (3 credits) OCT 8971—Continuing Dissertation This course requires the approval from the Ph.D. program director and fulfills the requirement for continuous enrollment while the student is working on the dissertation. (1–3 credits) OTD 8100—Functional Anatomy for Occupational Therapy This foundational science course develops the knowledge of human anatomy necessary for the practice of the profession. It presents the anatomy of the human body in both lecture and lab format. Learning modes will be active and collaborative and involve models, dissection, and some work with basic imaging and virtual laboratories. It addresses gross structures and systems of the human body and integrates topographic and radiographic anatomy, stressing the importance to clinical practice. (5 credits) OTD 8101—Introduction to Didactic, Clinical, and Research Experiences This course introduces concepts of human occupation and the framework for active participation in learning about evidencebased practice of occupational therapy. It formally introduces the student to the delivery model of the curriculum, including
